⚠️ LPG Safety Check – Pigtails Matter ⚠️
These photos show cracked and unsafe pigtail hoses that were found yesterday during a routine cylinder exchange.
Over time, pigtails can perish, crack and weaken, even if they still appear usable at a glance. Most have a recommended lifespan of around 10 years, but as you can see, deterioration can happen — and this can lead to gas leaks, poor performance, or serious safety risks.
🔍 Our advice:
Please take a moment to check your own setup — look for cracks, stiffness, or signs of wear on your hoses.
✔️ If we notice worn or damaged pigtails during a delivery or exchange, we can replace them on the spot (with your permission).
✔️ We stock pigtails on all our trucks and at our offices
✔️ We can also fit them for you to make sure everything is safe and secure
A quick check now can prevent a bigger problem later.
